Chapter 99: The Terror of Liu Yuer!
Ye Chen and Liu Yu'er traveled together, seemingly on a leisurely trip, but Liu Yu'er's Yuan Dan boundary cultivation was no joke. In just seven days, they had already arrived at the outskirts of Blue Rain City.
Ye Chen looked at the city wall of Blue Rain City, his heart racing with excitement. He thought to himself: Finally arrived, soon I'll just need to go in and ask about the location of Ye Village, then I can go home! I wonder if my parents, grandfather, and little sister are all doing well?
Ye Chen's heart was surging with emotions at this moment, having left home for eight years, he had finally returned!
Liu Yuer saw through Ye Chen's thoughts and gently patted Ye Chen's shoulder, saying: "You'll be back home soon!"
"Ah!"
Ye Chen smiled and nodded at Liu Yuer, then galloped forward towards Blue Rain City, with Liu Yuer smiling slightly and closely following behind.
The outer edges of Blue Rain City and Tian Lan City are roughly the same, with very high city walls and a moat about five meters wide around them. There is also a stone bridge on each side that leads to Blue Rain City.
Ye Chen and Liu Yuer entered the city after paying a certain amount of money.
After entering the city, Ye Chen first took Liu Yuer to buy a silk scarf to cover her face. Otherwise, with Liu Yuer's appearance, she might have caused some unnecessary trouble. It wasn't that Ye Chen was afraid of trouble, but rather he was now homesick!
Ye Chen brought Liu Yuer to a fairly decent inn, casually ordering a few small dishes and starting to eat. After all, if you want to gather information, the best person to ask is still the shopkeeper in the inn.
Ye Chen poured himself a full cup of wine, took out a few pieces of gold from his pocket and threw them directly in front of the shopkeeper, smiled slightly and said: "I want to ask something."
The shopkeeper looked at the few gold coins in front of him and smiled at Ye Chen, saying: "Sir, we have our own rules here. What do you want to inquire about? Different things cost different prices!"
Ye Chen understood the implication of the shopkeeper's dissatisfaction, and awkwardly glanced at Liu Yu'er, who was smiling. He slightly shook his head, then directly pulled out 10 taels of gold from his pocket and threw it over, saying helplessly: "Is this enough now?"
It's not that Ye Chen is petty, nor is the shopkeeper greedy for wealth. In such a prosperous city, one or two gold coins are simply not worth noticing to others. Even beggars might not be very interested in one or two gold coins.
"Enough! Enough!" The shopkeeper smiled and put the gold into his own pocket, with a flattering expression on his face: "Sir, what do you want to ask about?"
Ye Chen smiled slightly and said: "I'd like to ask, is there a village outside Blue Rain City called Ye Village?"
"Ye Jia Village?" The shopkeeper muttered to himself, furrowed his brow for a moment, thought for a while, then suddenly looked enlightened and said to Ye Chen: "I remember now! You go out of the south gate of Lan Yu City, head straight south, it's about 20 or 30 miles away. There's only one village around here called Ye Jia Village, but I don't know if it's the one you're looking for."
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen's face lit up with joy and he said: "Thank you!"
"Oh, sir is too polite! If sir has any other instructions, just call me directly. I'll take my leave now!" The shop boy bowed slightly to Ye Chen and then turned his head to walk away in another direction, after all, this was the busiest time inside the inn.
Ye Chen directly drank the wine in his cup, hastily stood up and said to Liu Yuer: "Let's go now! I haven't been back for so many years, I couldn't possibly return empty-handed, you accompany me to buy some things!"
Liu Yuer watched Ye Chen's anxious appearance, smiled slightly, and immediately stood up, casually throwing a few gold coins on the table, following Ye Chen walking out.
However, Ye Chen did not notice that when he asked Liu Yuer to accompany him to buy things, her eyes emitted a kind of excited light.
"What do you need to buy?" Liu Yuer followed Ye Chen, looking at Ye Chen's bewildered face as he looked around, and asked softly.
Ye Chen was taken aback and then gave an awkward smile, saying: "I don't know either! After all, it's been so many years, I also don't know what to buy anymore!"
Liu Yuer smiled slightly and said: "I'll go instead! Tell me who else is at home, I'll take a look and buy!"
Ye Chen smiled slightly, his eyes filled with tender affection as he gazed at Liu Yu'er, and softly said: "Thank you!"
Ye Chen and Liu Yuer's interactions on their journey deepened their feelings for each other. Ye Chen no longer treated Liu Yuer as he used to, but rather regarded her with the same affection as Mu Bing. Liu Yuer also became increasingly inseparable from Ye Chen. Many times, when night fell, she would quietly gaze at Ye Chen sleeping soundly and whisper to herself: "This is what Xinger meant by love!"
Liu Yuer gazed at Ye Chen's tender eyes and smiled slightly, saying: "What? Have you fallen for me?"
Ye Chen laughed and said: "At home I have parents, grandparents, and a younger sister! My sister is two years younger than me, she should be 16 years old now!"
Liu Yuer nodded understandingly at Ye Chen and immediately took him to the most prosperous streets of Blue Rain City.
————
Ye Chen followed behind Liu Yuer, his face getting uglier and uglier because he found that the things in his hands were getting more and more. Ye Chen only then realized that letting Liu Yuer help him buy things was probably... no! Definitely the most wrong decision he had made this lifetime! Liu Yuer was too ruthless, whenever she saw something that felt good, she would directly buy it and hand it over to Ye Chen, making him carry it for her.
If Ye Chen was unwilling, Liu Yuer would frown and say: "This is something bought for your family, you won't mind having too much of it, will you? If you do, then you're really unfilial!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen could only helplessly nod and continue following behind Liu Yuer.
At this time, Ye Chen truly experienced the real horror of Liu Yuer was not from her Yuan Dan boundary cultivation, but from her crazy shopping!
"Master Liu! Do we really need to buy so many things?!" Ye Chen pulled Liu Yuer hard, looking at her with a pained expression. At this moment, Ye Chen was really unbearable, his entire body was almost fully loaded with the things Liu Yuer had bought, even his own giant knife was tied to his waist with a rope, and the Three Beasts Cauldron was fixed on top of the knife, being pulled behind him.
If others saw Ye Chen's expression at this time, they would definitely say: What's wrong with this young man? Why does he look like he's about to die, his expression is so tragic!
Liu Yuer listened to Ye Chen's words, frowned and said discontentedly: "It was you who asked me to help you buy it! Now I haven't even bought those for your parents and grandfather, these are all for your sister!"
"What!" Ye Chen was stunned, his face shocked as he looked at the more than a dozen things hanging from his body, and they were all for his little sister.
Helpless, Ye Chen could only go buy a horse carriage, otherwise he wouldn't be able to carry all these things.
However, when Liu Yuer knew that Ye Chen had bought a horse cart, she became even more reckless in her purchases. It wasn't until the inside of Ye Chen's horse cart was packed to the brim and couldn't fit anything else that Liu Yuer gradually stopped. She then followed Ye Chen onto the horse cart, heading towards the direction of Ye Village.
Under Ye Chen's urging, the horse carriage sped towards Ye Village like a gust of wind.
About two hours later, Ye Chen sat in the carriage and saw Ye's village far away.
Ye Chen looked at the Ye family village not far away, his face revealed an excited expression, and he whipped the horse's back again, excitedly shouting: "Drive...!"
"Ah......!"
The horse let out a miserable cry and suddenly accelerated again towards Yejia Village, galloping away, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Liu Yuer sat beside Ye Chen, appearing relatively calm on the surface, but her heart was racing just as much as his. She thought to herself: soon I'll be meeting his parents, what should I say? And who knows what kind of woman they like, what should I do?!
Of course, what Liu Yuer was thinking in her heart at this time, Ye Chen had no idea! If Ye Chen knew, I wonder what he would think!
The horse carriage moved extremely quickly and in the blink of an eye, it arrived at the entrance of Yejia Village under the guidance of the shopkeeper.
Ye Chen stopped the horse carriage and jumped down from it, standing at the village entrance. He looked at the scene that was exactly the same as in his memories, and to his surprise, tears slowly flowed out of his eyes.
Liu Yuer saw Ye Chen's appearance, slowly walked to Ye Chen's side, held Ye Chen's hand and said softly: "Why not go back? What's there to be sad about?"
Ye Chen smiled slightly and wiped away the tears that had fallen from the corner of his eyes, then turned to Liu Yuer and said: "Yes! It's just been eight years since I came back, didn't expect this place hasn't changed at all!"
"Alright! Stop being sentimental and hurry back home to take a look! I don't know if your parents will recognize you when they see you again!"
Liu Yuer smiled slightly at Ye Chen and said softly.
"Ah!"
Ye Chen responded with a sound and immediately walked to the side of the horse-drawn carriage, leading it towards the village.
As soon as Ye Chen entered the village, his eyebrows furrowed slightly. The entire village was decorated with lanterns and streamers, as if someone's family was holding a wedding celebration.
Liu Yuer smiled slightly and said to Ye Chen: "It seems that we have come at a good time, I don't know whose family in your village is having a happy event?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen also nodded in agreement and said: "These are all unimportant! Let's just head back home first!"
Then, Ye Chen walked towards a corner of the village based on his memory of the direction.
Suddenly, Ye Chen's eyebrows furrowed tightly again as he looked at the familiar courtyard outside, which was crowded with people and filled with noisy sounds.
"What's going on up ahead?" Liu Yuer also saw the commotion outside the front courtyard and asked Ye Chen in puzzlement.
"That's my home!"
Ye Chen's face turned cold, in his memory, the place where the noise was coming from was his home!
Then, Ye Chen directly let go of the reins and hurried forward, Liu Yuer also followed closely behind.
